What's Yours is Mine, and What's Mine is Mine Too
This blog post has been percolating for the past few weeks and is inspired by a post on a listserv where someone in faculty development was asking about common practices to cite resources from other teaching and learning centers (CTL) if that information was in turn used for another CTL as a resource or part of a presentation. The conversation that ensued was rather brief for such a great (and on the surface obvious, but not so obvious) question. A lot of the people who responded were people who have been in the field for a while and they generously used the word "steal" when it came to what they felt could happen with materials shared on CTL websites or as part of webinars or presentations. Feel free to steal they said, sometimes they said it would be nice to cited, but by and large they were not really pressing that issue. Someone said well citing things is great, but also realize we have updated work and I hate that my name is still attached to something I did a decade ago...
